Anxiety is one of those things that we can do without. Our feelings of worry, apprehension or fear over something that may or may not happen in the future is all part of what we call anxiety. And your are not alone. The Brain And Behavior Research Foundation reports that 40 million American adults live with some anxiety each year. We all have experienced anxiety one time or another when we are not sure about our security or safety. When we experience anxiety in our body we experience sensations such as heart palpitations, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, stomach

We spend a lot of time thinking? About what? How often do you think about how to nourish our brain? The brain is the transmitter for our mind to live in the world. Without a healthy brain we limit our experiences. Our brain not only governs our capacity to think, learn, reason, and remember; it’s also the control center for virtually every other bodily process that we have. And, not surprisingly, it’s an organ that requires optimal nourishment. Most of us probably spend more time thinking about whether our food contains enough fiber for our GI tracts than we do

Nourish Your Body, Balance Your Mind As I reflect upon the health crisis now facing us, I keep pondering on the concept that there are ancient healing practices that help people to maintain the health and happiness of the mind-body and spirit, if only they were understood and practiced we would ultimately discover the secret to health and happiness.

8 Strategies to Boost Your Mood Depression is one of those things that we can do certainly pass on. We have all experienced the feelings of sadness, hopelessness, fatigue and lethargy one time or another in our life. The big Pharma companies have picked up on the issue but without cure. It is estimated that more than 20 million Americans, roughly 7%, experience depression. However, I believe that the numbers are much higher if dysthymia is included in this statistic. With one in ten using antidepressants there seems to be no cure with conventional approaches, just management. Depression is nothing

Diet and Nutrition for a Balanced Mood Recent evidence suggests that good nutrition is essential for not only our physical but emotional health. Research shows that a number of mental health conditions may be influenced by dietary factors. The body of evidence linking diet and mental health is growing at a rapid pace. One of the most obvious, yet under-recognized factors in the development of major trends in mental health is the role of foundation nutrients.

What does your diet and nutrition have to do with disease prevention? We are all driven by early detection practices to find cancer and other disease states. The search for finding out what is wrong so that one can begin treatment earlier rather than later seems to be the trend. This is intertwined with the concept of saving one’s life. Can you imagine for a moment if the same energy and effort was put into educating people on the lifestyle opportunities that one must take to prevent a disease state. In addition, educating the public on the overuse of

Focus, remaining calm and having a good memory seem to be what most people need to feel good. I have heard people time and time again fearful as to whether they will perhaps be one of the 10 million people who develop Alzheimer’s disease later on in life. Although no one supplement can guarantee total brain health, I have listed some supplements that I have personally found useful in working with clients and my own diet. This list is by no means all inclusive, just some that I have had success with working on the path to feel good. Magnesium:

Making Sense of Five Emotions In Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as Ayurvedic Medicine, unrestrained emotions are considered to be just as responsible for illness as are external pathogens. It is now commonly recognized in the West as well as in the East that emotions and stress can cause physical diseases. Each emotion is linked to nature’s five elements as well as to our organs.
